Playing football in a fantasy world can be a dangerous business, especially if you find yourself up against a monstrous ogre like the one Vortice Miniatures have come out with.

I have a real soft spot for ogres in football. These large brutes often provide the perfect balance of terrifying muscle and sheer hilarious stupidity. This model reminds me a little of the old, lantern jawed GW ogres, which I personally liked more as single figures than the later Ogre Kingdoms figures.

Of course, this is a style that might not sit well with some, who prefer ogres to be a bit more monstrous and a little less human in appearance.

Do you think Vortice’s ogre will make a good football player, or should he be left on the bench?
